Diverse City - an engine of artistic and social changeEXTR003

Diverse City is fundraising to grow its reach and impact. Please help us to build our work and reach more people in Dorset, the south west and nationally. Every donation made is a measure of your support and gives us the resources to bring about change more quickly.

“Diverse City’s work is an inspirational example for how we can act to make the arts and culture fully reflective of the society that we live in. Their commitment to changing people’s perception of disabled artists and performers is an instance of cultural leadership at its very best." Clore Leadership Programme

"a massive THANK YOU for every opportunity that you've given me and for believing in me and for giving me so much praise and encouragement. Before I joined EBYA I honestly didn't think that I'd ever have a career in the performing arts because I felt discriminated against and I didn't feel good enough" Member of Extraordinary Bodies Young Artists

“Diverse City’s work is truly pioneering; they are cultural entrepreneurs working towards a step-change in the sector. The ambition of the company - to place diverse groups at the centre of the industry - reaches wide into the fields of training, leadership, performance, professional development and the culture of the workplace.” Arts Council England

“I now know that disabled artists deserve a place in large scale outdoor arts projects, and that obstacles are there to be overcome. Nothing is impossible and great art can be created with large integrated companies” Cirque Bijou
